The Long Island Iced Tea is a dangerous drink that contains a whole slew of different Alcohols. It’s easy to drink despite being very boozy. It got its name because it looks like an Iced Tea and is from Long Island. Which “Long Island” is up for debate, however. Some claim it was invented by Robert “Rosebud” Butt in 1972 at the Oak Beach Inn in Long Island, New York, while others claim it was invented in the 1920’s by “Old Man Bishop” in Long Island, Tennessee. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
